Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers mostly steady to 4.00 higher. 500-600 lb. steer calves 1.00-2.00 lower, lightweights lightly tested with a much higher undertone noted. Heifer calves steady to 4.00 higher. Thin fleshed calves headed to grass sharply higher on limited sales. Demand good to very good especially for light weight grazing type cattle. Quality average to attractive. USDA's cattle on feed report Thursday displayed on-feed inventory two percent higher than last year and made it the highest April 1 inventory on record for the month of March since the report began. Many feedlots in the north starting to dry out and take in more inventory. May wheat run has begun as winter wheat pasture just beginning to play out. Several loads of wheat cattle included in today's receipts.

Head, weight ranges, average weights and price ranges are exactly as USDA AMS filed them — nothing recomputed, nothing rounded — in USDA's own reporting structure. This is RaisedBeef's rendering of that data, not a copy of USDA's document.

Feeder Cattle — prices, barns, and planning

Fed Cattle — the cash market and what quality pays

Beef & Retail — from the box to the grocery shelf

Feed & Hay — the cost side, cash not futures

Cows & Bred Stock — the rebuild market
